OTHER STAINED GLASS PROJECTS FROM SKIP THOMSEN

Skip Thomsen is availalbe for the design and construction of residential art-glass windows

and other commissioned projects. The photos on this page a a few examples.

All designs by Thomsen except as noted.

 

 

This piece is about three feet wide and was recently done for a new house in Hilo.

The client asked simply for "Yin-Yang Koi in a circle," and he wanted some

representation of the water and of sky. The panel was designed to fit

into an existing fixed-pane window in the living room.

 

 

This is a part of a panorama that goes all the way across a living room and ends

in the adjacent dining room. This triple window is about 6' wide and 30" high.

The slightly obscure clear glass is to assure privacy between this home

and the neighbors, whose house is only about 20' distant. The

picture is of the Wailuku River with its many small waterfalls.

The river runs right behind the house.

 

This is the dining-room end of the panorama.

 

 

The mural from the front entry . . .

 

. . . and from the dining room.

 

A Koi art-glass panel in a frame of Hawaiian Curly Koa. 24" wide.

 

 

This piece was created for another client's new Hilo home. The client asked for gardenias,

yellow ginger, Hilo Bay, the Hamakua Coast, Mauna Kea with snow, and in the

distant sky, an I'o (Hawaiian hawk). The window is 24" high and 36" wide.

Right: "Seaweed."

 

Each of these windows is about 30" x 60" and both were

designed to allow lots of light while maintaining privacy.

 

 

 

Above, "Vines."

About 4' high.

"Ocean Fantasy" designed by Paul Torian.

 

 

 

"Whale at Neahkahnie Mountain." (About 30" x 50")

 

 

 

"Red Sun" (Four feet in diameter.)

 

Both of the above windows were designed by Paul Torian

and built by Skip Thomsen. They are both installed in the

house pictured below, also designed and built by Thomsen.

The Whale window is actually in an interior wall and is placed

so that it appears from the street through an exterior window.

Note that the shingles extend the waves of the round

window design out onto the wall. (Paul's idea.)

 

 

The house is in the ocean beach community of Manzanita, OR

and is typical of much "North Coast" architecture.

 

 

A beach sunset abstract.

 

 

 

Another vines-in-a-clear-window creation, about 2' high. The actual

window is 5' x 10', so this vine occupies only a small corner.
